Greene Breaks With MAGA on Deportations, Tariffs and Health Care as Backlash Mounts

Her criticism draws Democratic praise, unsettling GOP leaders wary of fractures in a narrow House majority.

Overview

  • In a Tim Dillon Show interview, Marjorie Taylor Greene said mass ICE raids and blanket deportations have gone too far and urged a smarter “off-ramp” that reflects U.S. labor needs.
  • Greene warned that tariffs are hurting manufacturers and argued the administration should prioritize easing household costs over catering to donors.
  • She pressed Republicans to extend expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies in the shutdown fight, leading Speaker Mike Johnson to invite her into health policy discussions.
  • MAGA-aligned influencers attacked her as a sellout and pointed to her construction business, while she said she still backs Trump but will not be a “blind slave.”
  • Trump has privately asked allies, “What’s going on with Marjorie?”, as Democrats including Hakeem Jeffries and Raphael Warnock publicly welcomed aspects of her stance.
